In order to apply the "one-abutment-one-time" concept, we evaluated the possibility of measuring resonance frequency analysis (RFA) on the abutment. This trial aimed to compare the Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) values obtained by the Penguin when screwing the transducer onto the implant or onto abutments with different heights and angulations. Eighty implants (VEGA, Klockner Implant System, SOADCO, Les Escaldes, Andorra) were inserted into fresh bovine ribs. The groups were composed of 20 implants, 12 mm in length, with two diameters (3.5 and 4 mm). Five different abutments for screwed retained restorations (Permanent) were placed as follows: straight with 1, 2, and 3 mm heights, and angulated at 18° with 2 and 3 mm heights. The mean value of the ISQ measured directly on the implant was 75.72 ± 4.37. The mean value of the ISQ registered over straight abutments was 79.5 ± 8.50, 76.12 ± 6.63, and 71.42 ± 6.86 for 1, 2, and 3 mm height abutments. The mean ISQ over angled abutments of 2 and 3 mm heights were 68.74 ± 4.68 and 64.51 ± 4.53 respectively. The present study demonstrates that, when the ISQ is registered over the straight abutments of 2 and 3 mm heights, the values decrease, and values are lower for angled, 3 mm height abutments.

Placing an implant immediately into extraction sockets provides a distinct advantage over delayed placement, eliminating the need for a 4 to 6 months waiting period for bone formation. However, when patients present with hypothyroidism, the feasibility of immediate placement of dental implants becomes uncertain. This case involved a hypothyroid woman in her late 60s with loose lower anterior teeth.

Purpose: Placement of zygomatic implants in the most optimal prosthetic position is considered challenging due to limited bone mass of the zygoma, limited visibility, length of the drilling path and proximity to critical anatomical structures. Augmented reality (AR) navigation can eliminate some of the disadvantages of surgical guides and conventional surgical navigation, while potentially improving accuracy. In this human cadaver study, we evaluated a developed AR navigation approach for placement of zygomatic implants after total maxillectomy.

Background: Adequate preclinical training in dentistry is crucial for students before engaging in patient treatment. Constructive feedback from the instructors plays a pivotal role in guiding the students to master skills, boost confidence, and above all ensure patient safety. This manuscript introduces a new method employing intraoral scanners as digital tools to provide objective and quantitative feedback for crown preparation evaluation in preclinical prosthodontics.

Purpose: To evaluate the fracture load of monolithic zirconia crowns with implant screw holes, focusing on variations in occlusal and axial thicknesses, and to assess the interaction between these variables.
Materials And Methods: Six different prostheses were designed using CAD software, varying in occlusal thickness (0.5 mm, 1.

Aim: To evaluate long-term survival and success of dental implants and evaluate indicators affecting the long-term outcome.
Materials And Methods: Implant survival, success and crestal bone loss (BL) over time were evaluated. For covariates at patient level, Kaplan-Meier estimates of implant survival were compared between groups with the log-rank test.
